discord.js user does not contain all properties

I'm trying to my update my discord bot to discord.js v12. dc is a logged in discord bot client

dc.users.fetch(id, false).then(user => {
    console.log(user);
}

I get the following output:

User {
  id: 'myId',
  username: 'myUsername',
  bot: false,
  discriminator: 'someNumber',
  avatar: 'stuff',
  flags: UserFlags { bitfield: 0 },
  lastMessageID: null,
  lastMessageChannelID: null
}

Where are all the properties a user object should normally contain? user.dmChannel for example

These properties (user.tag, user.guild, etc.) are getters. It means that they are calculated using other variables in the object. For example, tag is not a property of the user class, it's just a function that returns a string:

get tag () {
    return `${this.username}#${this.discriminator}`;
}

It is better, because if the username changes, the tag will automatically be updated. You can't see all the getters of the user using console.log(user);, you should use the documentation instead.
